this is coming to life for most hello and welcome to the program in a tough standoff between egypt's leader mohammed morsi under a thousand strong army of his opponents it looks like the president could throw in the towel fast most his aides claim there's a high chance a one of the key opposition demands will the met that's being a delay to an approaching referendum on a controversial islamic led constitution cairo based reporter true was at the presidential palace where scores protested over night. as you can probably see behind me there are hundreds and thousands of protesters who met in the middle because there's a barricades on either side of the streets and carney chanting against the muslim brotherhood the president and the constitution how this happened we're not entirely
12:02 am
sure protesters i've spoken to said that sensually the republican guards just stepped aside and let people cast a first people worried that this might be a sign of some kind of trap for actually all the people were saying that maybe they just felt that the hundreds of thousands of people because it has now stretched to hundreds of thousands of people just overwhelm the guards and they just thought it would be safe to let people free by the moment you can see protesters stretching into the horizon as they chance against president morsi to stay here all night so i know the scenes are quite jeevan and so we haven't heard of any violence yes it seems that they've been adamant we've had reports of the republican guards erected these barricades on thursday and placing this curfew after violent clashes there actually standing on top of tanks with protest is you a chance in the protests the chanting against the mostly they don't appear to be doing anything about the crowds we have an absence here of of pro president
12:03 am
supports his mission which actually helps in terms of violence as most of the clashes have been between rival protest groups meeting and then the scene times violence one recent development we had is the justice minister came out and said that the president might consider delaying the referendum if opposition forces agree to dialogue to engage in dialogue without preconditions he was entirely sure what this statement means that it is a sign that perhaps the president is mulling over have potential talks with opposition forces other than not to course the president said in his speech to the nation last night that he would hold talks with opposition leaders on saturday which is tomorrow to talk about the problems that they have with the constitution and the constitution that gratian which many scenes have said is a massive power. ground by the president's reaction by the coalition of opposition forces the national salvation front was a fairly narrow so really we're still in a deadlock. compound in one of egypt's largest industrial city of la county

government protesters have reportedly taken over the local council and to proclaim independence more on how the revolution is getting affected and egypt has lined up at odds with article. and foreign policy analyst. that has hard time for egypt which could become even harder if the army steps at. this point you should have known the gathering the trust and goodwill of the egyptian people is more important than any specific action he wants to accomplish so things are really very dangerous in egypt now and i hope the violence will not fall all these confrontations in front of the presidential palace my fear is are there the military missed there's been no clear clear the decks for themselves i don't think it's dangerous in terms of morsi using the roundest power to crush and kill
12:05 am
thousands and thousands of egyptians i don't think he will go that route so my fear is only from the military military have a history of doing those things in egypt or elsewhere. morsi is heading down the same wrong road as his predecessor believes holder also has the president of the arab and middle eastern journalists association. well there's lots of feelings a against the muslim brotherhood by a lot of egyptians especially because of the role they played right after the revolution a lot of people saw that they were close to the army and the army was responsive for a lot of the problems that we were seeing but i think that they're seeing another dictator in the making they're seeing another mubarak and morsi is really making the same mistakes that. during the january twenty fifth of the lucian we're seeing him being too slow to react to people's demands it's a fast moving situation yet he is very slow to react and respond his speech instead
12:06 am
of calling mean people down he actually enraged the people more when protesters went down to the streets the main demand was clear that the main demand was to cancel this constitution of the creation but today if you see the footage out that egypt you're hearing them asking morsi to quit asking him to leave just like they've asked mubarak. do you want to start approaching the fiscal cliff. do you know the fiscal cliff. do you think a lot of americans do you think most people who were i think they are and i think that if i ignored it all go away but nothing's really going to change because the economy's like betty white or they're going to change are just not going to do a thing about it so the resident asked if americans are prepared to drive that's ahead. also this hour india declares full scale war on a deadly rotavirus disease which kills her because of thousands of children in the world each year promising a one dollar succeed against the baby. but now looking to

unite its own hands a person now wants to take the edge of the arms embargo against syria london says it wants to help rebel groups more. treatments of military gear so forth reports not the final recipients may not be the ones the u.k. has in mind. well the u.k. foreign office has confirmed this week britain is going to be thinking an amendment to the arms embargo on syria making it easier to help the opponents the syrian president bashar al assad now a foreign office official has said that the practical support is likely to include training and non-lethal equipment britain want to play a role in syria after the other side regime falls because. they would like to be involved. so therefore. wants to back the winning side. never will provide. the trouble for. the country i

did for eventually. lucia should you support. what would be the interest of the mission. here when they take part because the danger is there is new. leader of the opposition. therefore if bashar al assad leaves power. in syria then for a part. in fact fight one another at the end of the day it's going to be the syrians who are going to decide not britain france the united states now currently items such as body armor and night vision goggles of course up in that arms embargo and say the amendment would allow items like that to be supplied of course throughout the conflict in syria we see in an increasingly fragmented opposition and say there is a lot of concern that the supply of any weaponry could well end up in the wrong
12:09 am
hands nonetheless person will be pushing ahead this week seeking that amendment. syrian rebels have created a new unified military command to better coordinate things sentiency in syria but so far it's only caused even more division a spokesman for the free syrian army which was in attendance to announce the new authority such rated by islamists and by one's control from outside syria meanwhile the netherlands is mobilizing to patriot missile batteries to send to turkey joining german and american units they are to guard against a possible attack from syria one that lawrence wilkerson the former chief of staff to secretary of state colin powell says will not occur. why in the world would we put patriot batteries on the turkish border ostensibly to protect turkey with the largest army and the most powerful army in the region indeed one of the most powerful in the world turkey major no protection by us from that sort of thing and it would be utterly. utterly stupid for assad to attack turkey in that way so why
12:10 am
are we doing these things that look like they aren't connected to reality unless reality is we're preparing the ground to intervene in syria i think also that it would be again a back door as a war into iran which is the as you well know the real threat that we've been putting out there for years now and i think we're looking at syria and iran being a combination that we would then take on and you're talking about in my view a conflict that becomes regional and maybe even wider. so while many see the chemical weapon rhetoric in the west as an intervention others see it as an attempt to justify greater. the purpose of drumming up these allegations about syrians. plundering the usage of of chemical weapons is either to justify
12:11 am
a military intervention in syria or to justify arming the rebels worth qualitatively about the weaponry especially because of the size this is late some of them with these stubborn lies a leg up on the government of things go in the direction of the that our military on the run from what the fun out there be another but on the larger regional scale . there's always more lined up for young line including great lifting in the to speak sound find out more of exclusive interview see to our team difference so much from what's in the box the media and why should use it some outlets opposing wasn't about. planned this is something you might want to show last season's are running out of time to have been lost sale on their policies of the world's biggest cell phone that's why i love this option will soon run longer be having all.

one of the oldest standing is concerned facing you are spring style uprising. cracking down on protesters on the blocking the opposition's political moves but all of that says other tribes in the resistance even more. from the horrible. tensions are simmering beneath the calm as those seeking political change are forced to wait another day. community into a powerful nation although it's been ruled by the same family for more than two centuries kuwait is widely seen as the most democratic of the gulf monarchies get some young kuwaitis beg to differ there is
12:13 am
a few countries you can see democracy you can feel it in this through to the people but. it's just for show. the government says that it is doing all it can to maintain stability supporters of the ruling family point out that it boasts a robust public life with electoral traditions and a vibrant parliament for youth activist. that's not enough the opposition consists of an unlikely alliance of youth groups hard line islamists and local tribes who are ramping up their calls for reform increasingly they've taken their message to the street for peaceful demonstrations have been met with an iron fist and we were beaten up by. the special forces. the sound. but on and after the march. on the streets of the just being detained in front of the critics of kuwait's government claim it turns a blind eye to allegations of widespread corruption and the use of security forces to crush dissenting voices ask for the rule of law so we don't have a law we have
12:14 am
a law that is being used whenever the government feels like using the riffs here began years before the arab spring protests but have intensified over a series of political crises the opposition dominated parliament was dismissed earlier this year following a row with the ruling establishment. the electoral law was then changed prompting many to boycott kuwait's most recent parliamentary vote the resulting divide is unlikely to be bridged anytime soon and it leaves the monarchy with an energized opposition eager to make itself heard how to make us want to have grown increasingly more content. now and what people are trying to hide by taking the street that they are feeling a little system they want more free ride. actually projects like this one show with that isn't enough in the. last say in the future and how that future plays out well write the next chapter of the arab spring you see

cathy r t. v dot com there's more than rise to bring against the decades and centuries old monarchy is in the gulf states and you can have that for granted info on this is timeline. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. for a shelter on. the nose who treated the u.k.'s royal mother to be kate middleton for acute morning sickness has committed suicide following a prank call from an australian radio station two d.j.'s called a private london hospital impersonating the queen and prince charles to gain
12:16 am
information on the duchess's condition all his point of boyko found out whether the media should learn or trust possibility means. you'd have to be living under a rock not to have heard all about kate's pregnancy that was announced this week and the fact that the duchess of cambridge was in hospital and really you know any mainstream media website you can play on it and see all the details in fact you know the media speculation surrounding this pregnancy has been has really reached fever pitch we've had discussions over whether or not the duchess could be expecting twins whether it would be in line for the throne if in fact it is twins whether if she has a natural birth or is just says harry and section whether it be the physicians that decides who is the successor to the throne all this is taking place when there are other events taking place in the world you know still a crisis in syria protests in egypt it's all taking place against this backdrop and
12:17 am
a lot of people saying that this media coverage of kate's pregnancy has really been rather disproportionate especially with this tragic twist that has now ensued now i'm joined by course q. they along journalist he's been following the story of course now a lot of people saying that they're sick of hearing about kate's morning sickness now the british media is a lot of people saying overlooking much more pressing issues why is the media so obsessed with royal and celebrity culture. because it sells papers because it gives it diverts you know divert attention away from the issue of corporate control you increase privatization of services you know the benefit cuts do you create division in this country you think this tragic twist is going to fuel the cool of those that say that the morning to should be abolished altogether well i don't think we should necessarily use this tragic death as an opportunity for political point scoring but of course if we had a media which was more reasonable just when it happened if the suicide is actually
12:18 am
proved to be related to you to what happened i personally think they should be should have a real family but that's another question. well there you have it now the june and duchess of cambridge have said that deeply saddened by the tragedy of this is the death of the royal not so what should have been a joyful pregnancy announcement has been saved because of the disproportionate media coverage chimed in to a very tragic news story. let's not check what else is happening around the world the hamas chief khaled mashal has visited the gaza for the first time ever bursting into tears and calling the trip but they visit spunk speculation whether the group considered by many as terrorists is gaining acceptance in the modern world also comes after hamas invited its political rival to its twenty fifth anniversary celebrations in gaza which could mean moving in relations between the parties.

barack obama has announced. a sixty billion dollars aid package for the states worst hit by superstorm sandy. the request has to get approval from republicans and democrats the president's team has also proposed to make the package immune to any spending cuts due to urgent one time made. a goal must be for recovery plans comes as he negotiates with the republicans to avoid this so-called fiscal cliff the sort of spending a rise arises and talks cards that are set to take effect on the first of january and could be ruinous to the komi but does the average american fear the new mean do you also use new york resident trying to find out. america is about to go over the fiscal cliff are you worried what should we do about it this week let's talk about that do you know the fiscal cliff. do you think
12:20 am
a lot of americans do so then why is the media talking about it incessantly well i i guess i have not as informed as i should be but i just kind of figure it might work out do you think most people feel that way you know you think most people are worried i think they are and i think that if i ignored it will go away do you think calling it something like the fiscal cliff minimizes it yes and no i definitely agree that it's a complex problem i don't think it simplifies it though i think it adds an element of panic or fear looming. doom that and the media loves that yeah i do think there's actually something to worry about or do you think it's something the politicians and the media used to distract us from what's really going on politics and media for sure so what's really going on that they're distracting us from. their own personal agendas people fall into a trip when it comes to reelecting. people that don't do their job. yeah which is all of them you know in
12:21 am
a word yes yes they're much more concerned with their own agendas and their own you know ties that they were already got there used to be there was a thought at one time that the incumbent should never be reelected and that doesn't mean anyone at the top or the bottom one should be everyone should have one term and that's it if they're not really trying to work together there are three business channels we're in twenty four hours a day and it's good news nothing else is happening we're already caught in one so we move on and we just talk about the fiscal cliff correct i always carry every body everybody in their system even though nothing's really going to change because the economy sucks anyway oh i think it'll change i just don't think they're going to i think about it do you think they can figure it out or do you think it's up to us individually to do something. so what do you get into. work. work pay your bill and don't spend a lot but you don't have. going to the going to spend i'm not going to model spend the woman whether or not americans are worried about the fiscal cliff the bottom

line is the media is milking the crowd out of the phrase while realistically nothing drastic is probably going to happen. in days on its way to making what it sees as being one of the biggest leaps in medicine and one of times is developing a one dollar vaccine for a baby in a disease which could help prevent many thousands of deaths. this is india's genome valley inside these quiet sterile labs there's a revolution taking place that could change the world's approach to public health and potentially save the lives of one hundred thousand indian children every year bharath biotech is an indian firm developing a one dollar vaccine against rotavirus a disease which causes diarrhea in infants and is deadly in the developing world but i think also like a new generation of diplomats like us ok money making is also important but them
